Dead-pool vs X-Men Origins- Wolverine (Sci-Fi/ Action)
While these movies share one character that need not be named, they both have their own renditions of said character, and they were produced by the same company. Dead-pool, a fantastic anti-hero story of our friendly neighborhood merc-with-a-mouth, (yes that is a spider-man catch phrase but if you read the comics you'll know its appropriate.) He dazzles the audience from start to finish with fantastic wit and quite honestly raunchy humor which the fandom and I are perfectly fine with. From the snickers to outright laughter, the audience became invested in this awesome character. Which is more than can be said for X-Men Origins- Wolverine where we are shown a younger Logan Howlett, AKA Wolverine. We are given many character some old and new, re-imagined and classic portrayals of such characters. None of which were very pleasing and while some performances were good, the lackluster script held this movie back from being worth its hype. I will forgo the obvious connection between movies as that horrid mistake has been beat dead by thousands of critics. While both of these movies were created by the same studio, they obviously had different philosophies in regard to how these were going to be crafted. Fan service and source material vs. Creative freedom. We all know which won out in this argument.
